These processes often rely on sophisticated data analytics to inform the design of a company's category management strategy, such as its supply network design, its supplier relationship management, and its supplier performance management. Therefore, data analytics skills are crucial for PSM professionals. To foster these skills, we developed an innovative approach for teaching students how to use data analytics tools and techniques in PSM through the use of a teaching case called \"Savingtools.\" This case, developed in collaboration with a company undergoing a PSM transformation, illustrates the value of data-driven category management in PSM. The case further demonstrates the principles and tools related to PSM data management, spend analysis, and classification, and allows for in-depth data analysis, including visualizations. Our approach has been shown to effectively enhance student learning and comprehension, and we believe that it prepares future supply chain leaders while advancing PSM pedagogy.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":"46 1","pages":"427 - 457"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139224895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article provides a general overview of the opportunities arising from global LSCM trends. Motivated by student views and comments, the authors have surveyed leading academics and senior practitioners globally across the key LSCM functions to obtain a comprehensive view on the future skills required to excel in a career in supply chain management. Their findings suggest a multitude of future-proof skills centred around technical (e.g., data analytics), soft (e.g., creativity) and cross-functional skills, which they then use to discuss implications for job profiles, graduates (i.e., learn to learn) and LSCM professionals. Given the variety and complexity of the identified skills and LSCM functions, in addition to a compounding LSCM talent shortage, the authors propose changes in LSCM offerings at universities and other tertiary education providers, with a focus on unlearning and life-long learning.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":"23 1","pages":"369 - 396"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139220038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transportation emissions are rapidly increasing in developing countries and are the second greatest source of emissions after electricity generation globally. Reducing freight transportation emissions is not a priority on the corporate sustainability agenda for many companies despite their significant impact on climate change. This research explores the paradox between the significant negative impact of freight transportation on climate change and its lack of saliency in corporate strategy using data from in-depth interviews with 12 organizations that are shipper members of SmartWay, a voluntary environmental partnership (VEP). Using mid-range theory (MRT) building beginning with legitimacy theory, this research explores how transportation functions and corporations measure and report freight transportation emissions reduction as part of the environmental sustainability agenda. The results provide insight into how an operationally focused VEP is challenged in gaining strategic organizational importance for its mission of freight emissions reduction and why the current approach of focusing on freight emission issues in transportation has limited traction.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":"62 1","pages":"269 - 310"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49558384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address those challenges, five information services, named as access management services, are identified that can mobilize interorganizational information flows to achieve effective terminal and transport processes. In those processes, previous research has examined the effects of such services only in the access phase, that is, when containers are loaded and/or unloaded, leaving out the potential effects in the pre- and post-access phases. Consequently, the purpose is to clarify how the five identified access management services can affect activities and resources for all three access phases in the terminal and transport processes. Two empirical studies were performed: a prestudy, which involved 30 observations to identify terminal and transport processes in a seaport terminal, and an improvement study, which involved eight interviews and four focus groups to explain how the processes can be managed effectively. Access management services that can exchange information in real time can perform and utilize the activities and resources in all three access phases effectively. Namely, with the services, effective loading and unloading require fewer movements, drivers, administrators, controllers and less container lifting.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":"62 1","pages":"144 - 176"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44367025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
